Topic: (Group) f(x) (에프엑스) (Read 210701 times)

About halfway through I was all "WTFcakes a dude!? Oh wait, it's just a backdancer. Oh wait, there are no backdancers. WTFcakes a dude!?" And then I realized that an idol girl group actually got a girl that takes Tomboy to the EXTREME. Insta-favorite! It's like Ribon no Kishi-era Yossi all over again... (I'll be taking one of those era pictures for my next haircut, btw )

Wow, I can already see the pairings rolling in. They made it easy for us to identify the group pimp.

I haven't gotten deep into Kpop at all, but the style of the video strikes me as a darker, more laid back version of recent Kara. Am I the only one?

My god, Sully looks like my . . . . but I think I'm warming to the idea of following them.

Luna! I think I'm going to tag her as my fav. Even if she's too young, and her outfit is horrible in the teaser.

Krystal totally looks like Goo Hara in that picture. Amber's picture looks like it was taken without the flash or something lol and why does she have the girliest name?

Some rumors/speculation/info

i've been posting small news bits on my twitter.today i got a RUMOR about SM's plan w/ SNSD and f(x)the article is thought to be written by a SM insider but nobody can guarantee it.

so...READ IT AND FORGET IT

f(x) is gonna promote Lachata as a digital single (mp3) very shortly then release a mini album.Lachata is a strong performance-focused song.And they're gonna release a teen-pop style title from mini album which is soon to be released.As far as I know it's already recorded.Since the girls are very young, Lachata promotion is only for image making, and will be very short.

SNSD's mini album concept is still flexible. SM is gonna watch how f(x) mini album does and decide the concept.They had already received another euro pop title which is stronger than Genie.Also they have songs worth album title track from domestic writers including Park Changhyun, E-Tribe, and DJ Jinu (of Rollercoaster)After f(x) mini album lands well domestically, they will go euro pop, then they will release repackage album with cuter title from domestic writers after f(x) goes overseas.

If f(x) does really well domestically, SNSD can go overseas first (while f(x) stays in Korea for that period)How f(x) does will affect SNSD including album concept.

SHINee will release album on September 23 as planned without any relation with girl groups.

that's about it. Ciao!

"Amber and Krystal were wandering around in Apgujung(fashion, shopping district) arms hooked together. Someone tried to take their pics but Amber grabbed Krystal and walked away kekeke"

From a female clerk at a store where Amber is a regular customer"I thought she was a guy at first...an attractive American style guy...good manners... she has a nice husky voice...then one day I was shocked when I noticed the chest... she really is pretty and handsome... I almost fainted when she smiled at me, smiled in a really cute way... fluent English...her Korean has an accent but is pretty good"

They haven't even officially debuted yet, but there's already a pairing .

These kids are so damn tall. A reason to hate them . Victoria is 168, Sulli is 169 (she was only 149 in her old profile lol), the shortest is Luna, it seems, and she's 163! Krys should be at least 167. Amber looks very tall in the pic above, much taller than Krys, but I thought she seemed shorter in the teaser .

Oh yeah, first sched for them!

LIVE POWER Music in Gyeonggi - Sep 11th, 19:00 - 20:00

I think they record it and put it on air some days later? Will they have their first debut stage on MuBank that day too?

D: .... I seriously >>jinxed myself<< with this whole Krystal and Manber thing.

Quote from: JEyon @SNSDKOREAN

Searching the Web for “la chata” brings up a range of uses, from affectionate to vulgar. I suspect — or am I hoping — in this case, they are using it in its happier meaning. It originally was applied to women with small or snub noses (”chato” for men). “La chata” can now be used as an affectionate term or a nickname for a woman. Hell, even restaurants have the name.

Hmmm let's see how much Spanish I can remember..."Lachata" can be the name of an “old western bar” in Mexico and somethingsomethingsomething the girls can be portrayed as cowgirls.The name “la chata” separately and literally means a tiny/short girl or a little bottle of whisky/rum

btw, check 0:52 f(x)(에프엑스)_티져무비(Teaser Movie) their hand sign is like a gun. I guess that explains their plaid shirts and the ruffly skirt Krystal was wearing... and the vest thingie Manber was wearing...

Edit:This is one of the few times I’ll ever question SM Entertainment and their plans… but…

i don’t get why SM ent has to wait and see how they (EFF OF EX) do when SNSD is the bigger and older group. Like what’s new for SM Ent to test? And if there’s anything to test, shouldn’t you test with SNSD first so you know what to do for the new group (i.e. EFF OF EX)?…Please don’t tell me SM Entertainment has caught onto the ass backwardness of the industry! D:

I mean I get that they want to protect SNSD cuz they’re the princesses (sorry, you’d have to kill the Queen B to be the queens, girls) of SM now… but…. Meh. I guess it makes sense because you can’t bring them to China (since they already have a big Korean group there already, two if you wanna count DBSK, and the fact that the Chinese once hated the girls) and you can’t bring them to Japan (too many big numbered girl groups already and Japanese music industry is in the craps both musically and economically). So I guess it is better for EFF OF EX to go overseas than the girls…

f(x) member Amber has been revealed! Often mistaken for a boy, this little tomboy made it into SM Entertainment's upcoming girl group during SM's 2007 global auditions.

Amber is Chinese-American and from Orange County, California. She's been receiving vocal, rap, Korean and dance training in Korea, since the beginning of 2008. Definitely not a long time, so perhaps she's just naturally talented?

Fluent in English, Chinese and now Korean, Amber's main strength's are her voice and powerful rapping. She also stands out a lot, due to her charismatic and tomboyish looks.

I don't know, I actually think SNSD are more suitable to go to Japan than f(x). Having other local big groups as a competition isn't that much a problem to me, it means that that's the kinda group otaku like. Plus they have Sooyoung . f(x) is made for China.

I think I read from somewhere the first day that Lachata might be Hebrew..

Oh yeah, I doubt that Heo Chanmi girl is Amber. Or maybe there are more than one trainee with that name. Coz I went to her cafe on the first day the teaser came out and there was nothing in it, no activity at all, which I found weird.
